He has some unorthodox traiining routines. Yeah would like to know the exact time of his match in EST
He gets a bye in the 1st round so his first fight isn't until Thurs Aug 2. They showed his 1 arm pullups on a normal pullup bar in that vid but iv also seen him do 1 arm pullups from a rope. Watching him spar 2 or 3 guys at once is always fun too lol
The kid is something special, can't wait too see him go pro. Hes going at the right time now, young enough to have a great career.
Any rumor of him going pro ? Or any rumor of any other participant to London Olympics going pro after it ends? Besides Bogdan Juratoni who will sign with Interbox, I already knew that.
For Ukraine Lomachenko and HW Oleksandr Usyk (in my AV) have both said they're going pro after the Olympics. MW Gold Medalist Khytrov, LWW Silver Medalist Berynchyk, LHW Gvozdyk and SHW Kapitonenko probably will too. i think most their team is going to. For Russia im not sure. Mekhontsev and Beterbiev are both 27 so if they don't after the olympics they never will and they'd both make terrific pros. SHW Omarov is 22 so i doubt it but if he doesn't Kuzmin their #2 might, i hope one of them does. I have no idea about Aloyan, Vodopyanov and Selimov but the last two are 25 and 26 so if they dont now they never will either and i hope they do.
